The last picnic,
initials carved
in a wooden table.
A summer
when childhood
said its goodbye.
Too young,
too innocent
yet life happened.
A girl too young
became
a mother.
A boy too young
became
a father.
A moment
when time
stood still
became years
of tears
and regret.
A picnic table
where forever
was only
i n i t i a l s
carved in wood.

Your brevity of form makes the story all the more poignant.
Thanks for a great creation!
